MY FANCY

Saturday, January 18, 2014

2014 holds new things for me. The antique market in which I rented a booth has closed it's doors and my side of the garage is full of stock. Decisions to be made as to whether to open another booth, have a yard sale, or both.

Black & Multi Granny Square Afghan

The afghan at right and below belonged to a friend's 104 year old mother in law who passed a few years ago. Isn't it lovely?

Also below is a wooden biscuit box/crate from the 1800's that was hers.

Wishing you all a very Joyous Christmas Season! Hope it is full of time spent with those you love, doing things you love in places you love!

Sorry I haven't posted much lately, but should have more time to do so. The vintage shop where I rented space has closed :( I may be looking for a new space, but decided to take a break for the holidays, as I have plenty of wondrous vintage stock and keep acquiring more. Pics are of a few recently purchased treasures. The antique mercury glass ornaments are a friends. I have been selling them online for her.

Found this 50's? solid cedar wardrobe in my neighborhood last weekend. It has a few dings and some finish issues, but at $30 it was still a great deal. Daughter number two has claimed it. She is setting up household as a newlywed. :)

Found this vintage Household Institute "Princess" pitcher. It has nice crazing, but a crack in the top. Still will make a great display piece or vase.

Still selling things for a friend from her 104 year old mother-in-law's estate. The lady had quite a few old dolls and many doll clothes. Here are a few shots of items that are up for auction or that have already been sold on eBay. I am beginning to learn about antique/vintage dolls, but info has been hard to come by. Have tried to find someone that sells them via a brick and mortar store, but the closest one is two or more hours away (and I live in the greater Orlando area). You would think there would be an expert closer, which there probably is, just not sure how to find them. It would be great to pick someone's brain about them.

About Me

Mother of five, sharing home full-time with my loving husband and our youngest child. I was blessed to stay home and school my children through their growing up years. What an adventure! It is now a blessing to watch them mature and begin lives on their own. Presently, I enjoy taking care of my guys, thrifting at yard and estate sales, reselling vintage items in my antique/vintage booth and preparing for my new role as "Grandma".
